190.1.7

The way in which Jaj-nagar is mentioned in different places, by different writers, and under different reigns, clearly indicates its situation. Ulugh Khan, son of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Tughlak, on his second campaign into the Dakhan, having reached Diw-gir [Dharagarh], advanced into Taling [Talinganah], took Bidr, and invested Arangul, now Warangul. Having captured it, and given it the name of Sultan-pur, before returning to Dihli, he went for amusement or diversion into Jaj-nagar. He merely crossed the frontier of Talinganah. Hoshang, Sultan of Malwah, taking with him 1000 picked horsemen disguised as horse-dealers, set out from Mandhu or Mandhun, and entered the Jaj-nagar territory in quest of elephants. He managed to seize the Rae of Jaj-nagar by stratagem, obtained a number of elephants, and brought him along with him, partly for his own security, on his way back to Malwah; and, on reaching the frontier of the Jaj-nagar state [on the side of Malwah], he set the Rae at liberty. The Lubb-ut-Tawarikh-i-Hind states that Jaj-nagar is a month's journey from Malwah, but from what part of Malwah is not said. The first ruler of the Sharki dynasty of Jaunpur — the eunuch who is turned into a "Pathan" by the archaeologists — extended his sway as far as the territory of Kol to the south; and, on the east, as far as Bihar; and compelled the rulers of Lakhanawati and Jaj-nagar to pay him tribute.
